CPD 2017: the countdown continues

We are changing CPD for established practitioners. The
changes will give you more choice and greater flexibility in
planning your training. We will focus on helping you to comply
instead of issuing sanctions for non-compliance. The new CPD
regime for established practitioners comes into force on 1 January
2017 but the arrangements for those in their first three years of
practice, who are on the New Practitioners Programme, will not
change.

To assist practitioners to prepare for the new CPD arrangements
and to help finalise our guidance, we have been busy meeting
barristers up and down the country in a series of workshops. We
have already held workshops in London, Birmingham, Bristol,
Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester, but there are still places available
at the following sessions:

If you cannot attend any of the remaining sessions or the
webinar, we will be publishing a recording of the webinar on our
website. We will also share this recording with you in next month's
Regulatory Update email.

The new arrangements for CPD are the result of an extensive
consultation exercise which started back in 2014. A pilot group of
76 barristers undertook CPD in the new way during 2015.

The new scheme will not demand that you do a minimum number of
hours CPD and our
interim accreditation scheme for CPD providers ends at the
end of this year. The combined effect of all of the changes
will be to give you much more flexibility concerning CPD. You can
find out more details about CPD on
our website.
